The New York Daily News reports "exclusively" that West has been RSVP'ing for this week's runway shows without a plus-one... and not telling Kim about it. A source tells the Daily News, "He didn’t think it was good for his reputation... [but] he didn’t want to hurt her feelings."

This is all hear-say, of course -- Kim might have remained stateside to attend to her own business. But given how serious Kanye is about making it in fashion (and how fashion seems to hate Kim), we wouldn't be too surprised if the rumors contain some truth.
